Huang Leihai Qing starred in the TV series ＂Little Joy＂ and exposed the film ＂swearing in the college entrance examination＂
The realistic drama "Little Joy", directed by Wang Jun, with Lu Yingong as the original work and Xu Xiaoou as the chief producer, released the first film of "swearing in the college entrance examination" on November 6, exposing the whole cast of the characters and sparking the combination of new people. Huang Lei and Christina, the old partners, are full of witty remarks. When they open their mouths, they can’t help laughing. The three groups of families in the play have different backgrounds, but they will all face the college entrance examination for their children. On the one hand, parents’ earnest expectations, on the other hand, children’s free nature, the conflict between the two generations has become increasingly fierce in front of the topic of "college entrance examination".
The original team injected fresh blood to show the "family group image of China’s college entrance examination"
As a companion piece of Little Parting, a masterpiece of realistic drama in 2016, Little Joy continues the golden "iron triangle" cast of director Wang Jun and starring Huang Lei and Christina, and continues the perspective of Fiona Fang (Huang Lei) and Tong Wenjie (Christina), telling a brand-new urban story with the couple who are familiar to the audience of China TV series. In the first film, the whole cast was exposed, with Huang Lei, Christina, Tao Hong, Yanhui Wang and Yongmei as the leading roles, Zhou Qi, Li Gengxi, Guo Zifan, Liu Qi, Wu Yunling, Xu Fanxi and Ahu、Yue as the leading roles, and Sha Yi and Ren Zhong as the special roles. Compared with the previous work "Little Parting", "Little Joy" has added a lot of fresh blood, and the stories, conflicts and highlights that occurred during the preparation for the college entrance examination have been comprehensively upgraded around families with many children, divorced families and official families.
Several young actors Zhou Qi, Li Gengxi, Guo Zifan, Liu Qi and Wu Yunling, who had been highly anticipated before the filming of Little Joy, officially appeared in the trailer. The little actors selected by Little Joy are all "little drama bones" who have been acting since childhood, and they are also students who play the college entrance examination in their true colors. Zhou Qi’s masterpiece old boys, Li Gengxi’s masterpiece Two Hundred Million Years Old Classmate, Liu Qi’s masterpiece The Alliance of Military Strategists, The First Love of Married Chitose Adults, Wu Yunling’s masterpiece The Love Song of Ancient Times, and Guo Zifan, from the idol group X-Nine Youth League, were admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in 2017 with the first performance in the national major. It is reported that the performances of several young actors in "Little Joy" are refreshing.
Huang Leihai Qing’s "Mouth Gun Couple" is full of joy, and the three groups of families have different painting styles.
In the film "Little Joy", the passionate swearing-in meeting of the college entrance examination instantly pulls people back to the third year of high school, and even borrows a ridiculous dialogue from Yifan (Zhou Qi): "Look at these people, they are particularly calm on the surface, but in fact, they have already collapsed inside!" It leads to all kinds of "growing troubles" faced by senior three students. Parents’ concern and nagging, in the burst of balloons, indicate the seemingly insoluble gap between the two generations. At the same time, the film released a "pressure version" hand-painted poster with realistic irony. The children of three groups of families sat at the table and studied nervously, while "shouldering" their parents, vividly highlighting the pressure faced by senior three families.
In the film, three main families all appeared, with different painting styles. Holding a camera, Fang Yifan, a teenager, shouted that his life in senior three was "miserable". He had a harmonious relationship with his mother Tong Wenjie, who hated iron and never turned into steel, and his father Fiona Fang, who was tired of playing with things. He will spend senior three with his cousin Lin Leier (Liu Qi), who came to Beijing to take the college entrance examination. Qiao Yingzi (Li Gengxi), who grew up with Fang Yifan, is divorced from his parents, so he looks unhappy under the pressure of Song Qian (Tao Hong), his mother’s gold medal physics teacher. However, Qiao Weidong (Sha Yi), a business father, began to care about his daughter on the eve of senior three, and Song Qian and Qiao Weidong met each other in a narrow way, creating many smiles and tears. Ji Yangyang (Guo Zifan), who loves racing, didn’t grow up with his parents. He was very close to his uncle Zheng Liu (Ren Zhong) since childhood, but he was rebellious and indifferent, which made his father Ji Shengli (Yanhui Wang) and his mother liujing (Yongmei) a headache … …
In the play, Tong Wenjie moved his family into Shuxiang Yayuan Community opposite the school in order that his son Fang Yifan and his nephew Lin Leier could better prepare for the third year of high school, and became the tenant and neighbor of his best friend Song Qian. Ji Shengli and his wife also rented a house in the same community from Song Qian to better take care of their son Ji Yangyang’s college entrance examination. At the same time, Pan Shuai (Ahu、Yue), a PE teacher in Chunfeng Middle School, and Huang Zhitao (Wu Yunling), a niece, also live here. Five children in the same class, led by Tommy (Xu Fanxi), the head teacher, launched a sprint for the college entrance examination.
This is the second cooperation between Huang Lei and Christina after "A Little Separation", which is even more comfortable. In the play, the "Tong Fang CP", which is launched again, has quite different educational concepts for his son. Christina trains his children like a barrage, while Huang Lei takes his time and speaks eloquently, and they are full of joy. And "tell it to the judge" Tao Hong and Sha Yi, "orthodox couple" Yanhui Wang and Yongmei, also have their own sparks. The three groups of families who temporarily become neighbors represent different situations, but they are all equally anxious in the face of the children’s college entrance examination.
Sharp analysis of educational topics and direct attack on the pain point of "Chinese-style" family education
It can be seen from the film that under the fixed proposition of "college entrance examination", the social topics involved in "Little Joy" are quite sharp, covering social hotspots such as puppy love of high school students, college entrance examination in different places, score-only theory, Beijing hukou, and children driving sports cars in official families, which can be said to be quite "sharp". The backgrounds and educational concepts of the three families are very different, each with different troubles and facing similar puzzles. The contradiction and collision between independent candidates and parents who want their children to succeed in life can’t help but make people think: does the college entrance examination, which has changed the fate of countless people, still have the same significance in the eyes of children with good conditions?
What is commendable is that "Little Joy" has both youthful blood and hope at the creative level, and resonates with the collective memory shared by the Chinese people. It also reflects the struggle and pain of growing up — — The conflict between personal hobbies and the pressure of entering a higher school, the estrangement between parents and children after divorce, and the weak parent-child relationship due to busy work … … The drama’s accurate observation of these educational problems is also the pain point of the "Chinese-style" family that the creator tries to touch. "Little Joy" also hopes to discuss with parents how to better integrate with new ideas, communicate with the new generation, realize the reconciliation between the two generations, and the symbiosis and integration between individuals, families and society under the changing times. The mutual acceptance of the two generations is just like Huang Lei’s dialogue in the play: "It is good to be admitted or not, and a little joy is good."
"Little Joy" is very contemporary from the core theme to the values conveyed. After "Little Parting" set off the topic frenzy of the senior high school entrance examination, "Little Joy" will take the topic of the senior high school entrance examination as a guide to gain insight into middle-class anxiety and parent-child relationship. It is reported that the production of Fang Ningmeng Film will also create a "Little Shede" that pays attention to early childhood education, forming a "trilogy of education series" by Ning Meng, insisting on making quality dramas and quality dramas.
